Supreme Court allows White House to fight social media misinformation::Justices said the Biden Administration could continue to pressure social media firms over misleading content while a lawsuit progresses.
Demonstrably false foreign propaganda? Lies about the time, place, and results of elections? Medical advice that can be lethal if followed?
Don’t forget revenge porn, which was already illegal but gets Republicans really mad when it’s of Hunter Biden but also taken down.
It’s not “revenge porn” if the images have already been leaked. Just like it’s not espionage to report on information already leaked.
Is that true with revenge porn? Because with, for example, child porn, it’s not like they’re only going after the people making it but also the people distributing it.
Another, more analogous example: Most of those old celebrity leaks (fappening) are illegal content to host/distribute, which is why sites wouldn’t/couldn’t allow it even if it would drive up user traffic. (Afaik)
You can say the same thing about any government power. Or about government just existing. Or about human beings just existing.
Denying people the opportunity to act in bad faith isn’t a strategy, not even a bad one.
